During the last three years i ordered from the AVAILABLE SEEDS and was very satisfied with the quality of seeds, package and shipment.Never had problems. They used to send 10-20 seeds, for example, when you buy 5 small size seeds. However, when the seeds are definetely big, they sent the ordered quantity.

Where can I find quality seed for pineapple, coconut, mango, avocado, papaya, edible banana and similar tropical fruit which would be shipped to my country?

I've started some kind of tropical plants indoor growing with seeds from the groceries store fruit, but I don't expect much because quality of those seeds is not anything near perfect as far as I am concerned. I am going to install some adjustable RGB LED strips and with the new gear I am thinking new seeds as well. As you can see I live in zone 7 with apples and pears going on here, and in winter (and pretty much spring and autumn) conditions pineapple and such has nothing to do outdoors, that's why I have to go with indoor growing. Along with LED strips I will go with temperature and humidity adjustment stuff. So if I go with quality seed as well it can turn out into something I guess.

I've tried to search on Amazon and E-bay but most of sellers don't ship here and of course I can't be sure if the seed is good or not. I am looking rather for some registered online seed shop which distribute this stuff internationally. Sorry if my English made you any trouble and thanks for your responses.

How's TradeWinds for vegetable seeds? Particularly interested in allium (and related seeds). The seeds I bought over from the Ph don't seem to do well in Oz and vice versa. I've bought plants (sets and mature plants) as well as seeds of ramp, scallions and various wild onions locally and I've found that it doesn't matter where I get my alliums from - they're all very prone to purple blotch? And I'm trying to keep everything organic. Figured it must be something within Oz that's making all the alliums susceptible? Generational degeneration of the local seeds perhaps.

Anyone tried the alliums from TradeWinds in a semi-organic/purely organic planting? How did it go?

To get your mangosteen seedling fruiting/flowering prior to celebrating its 5th anniversary of being planted out, it doesn't always take special treatment.Mine fruited at 7ft and at almost 5 years in the ground,being 1 foot when planted. It didn't get special treatment like dry season watering and regular fertilzer until after it first fruited.Likewise a grafted durian fruited within 5 years before weather took it down.I think the prolonged heat and humidity of the local monsoon season may give them a boost.I do however have a mangosteen runt which at 5 years is heavily branched but only 4 feet and nowhere near fruiting.

see my videos on youtube at Pitahayas en Puerto Rico. I have more than 25 varieties.

As far as online large scale seed suppliers go I'm quite fond of Top Tropicals and Tradewinds Fruit when it comes to viable seeds! They have never let me down... though they have relatively high prices. Here is hoping that some of that money is going back to the country of origin! I really like Top Tropicals information too!

These are in my opinion the best of what was listed...in descending order of best upon arrival for FLORIDA!

1) Flying Fox Fruit (Proximity and quality source)

2) Govardhan Gardens (he takes great preparation and care of his seeds before sending)

3) Trade Winds Fruit (VERY rarely have I ever gotten anything from them that was not going to germinate (and when it was the case it was only a few of the seeds in the species ordered)...they also have really good seeds and presumably storage practices!

4) Toptropicals is pretty good and has a good variety. Their website is frustrating, but they have a lot of Ethnobotanical and other useful info!
